Anton Brotherhood

Chapter 22 Lam Longman II

Then Anton spoke first, “You must be Lam Longman?”

Lam said with a laugh, “Clever. But you're much smaller than I thought!”

“Well, a lot of people said that about me, but in the end, they don't think I'm small.”

Lam looked at Anton for a moment, then said in a cold voice, “I wonder if there is nobody in China’s

police department, so they even send such a lad as you who is working undercover!”

Knowing that he was playing tricks, Anton sneered without reply, waiting for Lam to continue. Sure

enough, Lam said again, “They used to send five undercover officers to trap me. Do you know what

happened to these five people?”

“I'm not interested!”

“But I'm. I cut their heads off and stuck them with branches; their bodies...” Pursing his lips in the dogs’

direction. Lam continued, “We're all in their stomach, haha! Boy, today you're the sixth!”

“Haha!” Anton laughed out loud, then sneered, “Lam Longman, if you're done with your acting, then

we'll talk business. I'm not here to talk bollocks with you this time. You don't have to scare me with that.

I won't come if I'm afraid!”

Lam sneered, “Well, sure enough, it is indeed the dog trained by the police system; you have the guts!”

“Finish him off!”

Anton was startled inside; from Lam's eye, it didn’t look like he was acting. It would be a bit unworthy if

he was killed like this. At the moment, he had no choice but to fight. Before Lam's men made a move,

he punched the nearest person in the face. With a howl, the man fell to the ground two meters away.

Anton was about to attack again, but stopped finally as five guns were pointing to his head.”

Anton had no option but to put his hand up and said to Lam, “If you killed me, you would regret it!

Because you would lose a good chance to make money!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Lam sneered, “Really? I've never regretted killing a cop! You look young; have you graduated from the

police academy yet! What a pity!” He shook his big head then turned to his men, “What are you waiting

for? Kill him. Follow the routine!”

The man who had been beaten by Anton stood up and spit blood on the ground, along with his two

grooves. Then strode toward Anton without a word, and gave him a hard punch in the stomach.”

Anton gritted his teeth in pain, bent, and sit on the ground. Five people standing by stepped forward to

pin Anton to the ground by his hands and legs, then one of them pulled out a two-foot machete from a

sideward box, raising to Anton's neck and ready to cut down.”

At this point, Lam reached out and stopped the man's next move, turning to a thin man with glasses

standing next to him. The thin man smiled at him and shook his head. Lam understood his meaning,

then ask Anton loudly, “Boy, you're really not a cop?”

Just now, Anton actually thought he was going to die. The faces of his loved ones came to his mind the

moment he hit the ground, but he did not regret the path he chose, because it brought him the joy he

had not experienced before. He only felt indignant. But hearing Lam’s question, he understood that

Lam was originally trying to sound out his true intention. Anton was so furious that he gave Lam tons of

curses in his mind.”

“Bullshit! If I were a cop, I'd be the first to arrest you!”

Lam laughed, gestured his men to step back, rose from his chair, and stepped toward Anton, “Little

brother, don't blame me. I did this out of cautiousness. Only in this way could I live today. I apologize for

what happened!” Then Lam gave himself two slaps.”

Rising from the ground and brushing the dirt off his clothes, Anton thought to himself, “Lam is literally

a smooth operator who knows how to manipulate people. Anton did not want to haggle over this trivia,

so he calmed himself down and said, “Lam Longman, should we talk about business then?”

Lam nodded and said, “Right! Someone gets a chair!” One of his men pulled up a chair behind Anton,

who sat down without ceremony. Then Anton looked at Lam and said, “the way you treating your

guests is really special! Just name your price.”

Lam said, “I believe you already knew the price on the market. My price is nearly the same as the

market’s, but I can promise you. The purity of mine is much higher than the market's!”

“Tell me your price, “said Anton.

Lam thought for a moment and said, “250!”

Anton knew he was saying 250 euros per gram, so he shook his head, “Lam, I came here to do

business sincerely, but you showed no sincerity!”

Lam lowered his head. After a while, he said, “Well, 220. How about that? is it cheap enough? It is hard

to find even ordinary goods at this price on the market.”

Anton laughed to himself as he thought, “compared with the price provided by Carl, Lam’s price is low

enough, but now few people are asking for Lam's goods, so I should seize this opportunity.” Thinking of

this, Anton shook his head.” No. I came all the way to make a fortune. You still don't have the sincerity!”

After that, Anton stood up and prepared to leave.”

Seeing that, Lam was fidgety and blurted out loudly, “Don't rush off brother, we can talk over the price.”

Then he gritted his teeth and continued, “Well, my bottom price is 200. It’s the lowest price!” After

finishing his sentence, Lam stared at Anton without a single blink.

Without speaking, Anton shook his head. Lam also stood up, swallowed, and said,

“Name your price then! You cannot find a lower price; little brother, at least, you should let me earn

some!”

Anton laughed and said, “OK, you let me say, then my price is 180!”

“What? Are you kidding me? 180, you can sell me with this price!” Lam almost stepped on the chair out

of anxiety. In fact, Anton had guessed right about Lam’s situation that he has the goods, but couldn’t

find customers. The customer source was almost cut off as early as the first time of the police raid, then

there were several raids followed, and now they finally see a potential customer. Lam won't let it go

easily.

Looking into Lam’s eyes, Anton said, “I can only give you this price. If you think it’s unacceptable, then

I'll find someone else. But one thing you should know, I work with long-term suppliers. I don’t do a one-

time deal.”

Lam rubbed his two fat hands and said to Anton, “Wait a minute, let me think about it!”

Pacing back and forth in his small warehouse. Lam calculated in his mind quickly. His men fixed their

eyes on him; they were out of money for days.

At last, Lam stomped, looked at Anton, and asked, “How much will you take this time?”

Thinking for a moment, Anton said, “10kgs!” Both Lam and his men looked surprised, as 10kgs was not

a small number. Lam looked up at Anton, “10kgs? Little brother, you can eat this much?”

Anton smiled, “Whether I can eat or not is my own business. If you accept the price, I'll take 10kgs this

time. I may buy more in the future!”

Lam laughed.” OK! Brother, you are straightforward. Then I won't be hesitant! I'll give you that price.

Haha!” Although Anton’s price was low enough, Lam could still make money, only not that much.

Anton said, “There's another thing I have to say first. You need to deliver the goods and we will pay for

goods on delivery. You have no objection to that, do you?”

Lam pointed at Anton and said with a laugh, “Sure, little brother is really smart! Ha, brother, you stay

tonight, I will treat you well!” Then he ordered his men, “butcher some chickens and get some wine and

meat tonight. I am going to have a good chat with my brother! We will have closed cooperation in the

future!”

His fellow responded happily and went to prepare. Anton said, “Lam, it’s unnecessary to stand on

ceremony. I will have this meal with you, but you don’t need to prepare too much, just something

casual!”

Lam waved his hand and said, “You are my guest. It’s our first meet, of course, I should entertain you

well. Brother, you don't call me Lam Longman. It sounds like a stranger. I'm a few years older than you,

so you might as well call me brother Lam!”

Anton considered and thought he was right; as they are very likely to have contact in the future, so it’s

indeed unsuitable to call him to name directly. Then Anton said politely, “Well, it’s my honor. Brother

Lam!”

Lam was so happy that he kept saying ‘yes. Then he took Anton's hand and said he got another good

young brother. Anton said to himself, “Just now you were going to kill me, and now I become your

brother. Lam is certainly not a simple person, so I have to be careful.”

Anton chatted with Lam 'enthusiastically'. But most of their conversation was meaningless. Lam told

Anton his glorious past, and how they ended up here. Anton almost fell asleep out of boredom. Noticing

Anton was uninterested, Lam said with an evil smile, “Little brother, I have a surprise for you tonight!”

Then Lam burst into laughter.

Anton was surprised, then asked, “What’s it?”

Lam narrowed his eyes and said, “Brother, don't hurry, you'll know then!”

Anton curled his lips and did not speak, wondering what kind of surprise this old slicker would prepare

for himself. At around Ten o'clock in the evening, Lam's men had the meal ready, and they set a large

round table in the middle of the warehouse. Then Lam called Anton to sit down, picked up a bottle of

old white wine, poured a cup of wine for Anton and himself, picked up the glass, and said, “Brother, it’s

our first meet. Don't take it personally if there are oversights. I will drink up three glasses first as an

apology!”

After that, Lam drank three cups in a row, then poured himself another one and said, “Brother, let’s

toast. For our future cooperation!”

Anton nodded and said, “I will be bound to bother you in the future! Let’s bottom up!” “Bottom-up! Come

on! Let's toast together!” Anton drained a glass of wine along with others. As he hadn’t drunk white

wine before, Anton felt his throat was about to fume, so he bolted down a few mouthfuls of food. Lam

saw Anton's look then knew he could not drink, so he did not persuade him to drink anymore, only

drinking with his brothers one glass after another.

It's clear that Lam was really happy today for making the acquaintance of this big customer, so they will

money later. Lam naturally would drink more.

Anton asked when he ate, “Brother Lam, when will the goods arrive J City?”

Lam thought for a moment then replied, “If you're in a hurry, we can deliver the goods within three

days!”

Anton nodded and said, “Good, I'll wait for your message. I'll buy a phone when I go back and tell you

my number. Call me when the goods are about to arrive.”

Lam laughed and said, “Brother, how could you not have a phone? do you need me to buy you one?”

Anton smiled, knowing that Lam was saying that out of politeness, who was almost starved to death

when boasting about giving away a phone. So he replied, “Brother Lam if you want to buy me a phone.

Wait until we are familiar. Now even if you want to give me a present, I am embarrassed to take it.”

Lam was glad to hear that as Anton not only saved his face but also gave him excuses. “OK. Since you

have said so, I am definitely making friends with you. Today, I’m so happy, brother, let’s have another

toast.” Anton had no option but to drink again. After a while, Anton became slightly tipsy. Then he

refused to drink anymore more no matter what Lam said.

When everyone was wined and dined to satisfy. Lam staggered to his feet and said, “Clark, go to find a

big and clean room for my brother!” Clark responded and walked out.

Holding Anton's hand, Lam said in an inarticulate voice, “Brother, I have drunk much today. Because

I'm happy! Brother, have you ever played with women? We have them here. Come on, let’s pick one for

you!” After that, Lam pulled Anton, without waiting for Anton’s answer, and headed for a small black

door inside the warehouse. When they came to the door, Lam shouted, “Clark! Clark!”

“Didn't you just send Clark away?” Said Anton with a laugh.

“You see. I don’t even remember that. Brother, you didn't drink much; your memory is better than mine!”

Then he turned back and shouted, “Tom, where is Tom?” As soon as he asked that, the man called

Tom ran over and said, “Brother Lam, try someone new this time?”

Lam slapped him on the head and scolded, “Try your mother! Find me that little girl. Let her sleep with

my brother for the night!”
